Calculators

Home Project Cost and Lifetime Comparison Calculator

Build an installed quote, compare lifetime costs and calculate material packs. Separate payment-day cash from later reimbursements using your project records.

Calculators

Thermostat Schedule and Cost Scenario Calculator

Compare complete daily temperature profiles or test explicit heating and cooling cost changes, recurring fees, upfront cost and simple payback.

Calculators

Energy Bill Savings and Comparison

Calculate an entered utility bill reduction and simple payback, or compare observed bill averages without assuming what caused the change.

Calculators

HVAC Maintenance Dates and Runtime Planner

Calculate service dates from documented intervals or compare actual runtime readings with a service threshold, then save and export the record.

Calculators

Filter Rating and Pressure Drop Comparison

Compare actual filter MERV ratings and measured or published pressure drops at one airflow against an assessed filter allowance.

Calculators

Duct Leakage Test and Operating Loss Calculator

Normalize comparable duct pressure-test records or model sensible transfer and electric cost using separately supported operating leakage assumptions.

Calculators

Room Airflow and Balance Calculator

Calculate CFM from an explicit air-change target or sensible load, then compare design and measured room airflows without hiding individual deficits.

Calculators

Air Handler Blower Performance Check

Compare a documented blower airflow and external-static point with the stated design airflow band and pressure limit, retaining signed margins.
